The AI-powered profile photos feature will likely enable users to create personalised images that truly capture their personality, interests, or current mood. Users might just have to enter a prompt to describe the type of image they want, then the AI will likely generate a custom profile photo tailored to their specifications.
This feature could offer enhanced privacy for user profiles. With AI-generated images, users can sidestep the need to share real photos, thereby minimising the risk of misuse or unauthorised sharing.
While the option to prevent screenshots of profile photos already enhances privacy, AI-generated images will likely provide an additional layer of protection. Moreover, this feature might prove beneficial when users are uncertain about which photo to use. Instead of investing time in the search for or creation of the ideal picture, users would be able to easily generate one by providing a prompt.
The report mentioned that the feature to generate AI-powered profile photos is currently under development and will be available in a future update of WhatsApp.
